I am crew with EK. Been here a few years. One of the biggest problems here is the crew, the new crew. In the last year we have had a huge decline in standards with regards to the new crew coming in. They are too young and think moving to Dubai is a holiday and they can fly around the world and not do any work. At the end of the day this is a job. A hard job, a very TIRING job. Some of the crew I fly with are literally just like children, need to be constantly told what to do, rude, immature, want to sit down the whole entire flight and not do ANYTHING. Not all, some are absolutely fantastic, the difference is the maturity for sure, some crew don't want to take responsibility and grow up. 'Enhance the fun experience' is how you ended your post. This is a job at the end of the day, only you can make it fun for yourself. So regarding accommodation. EK state you will be placed in company accommodation, they never make a promise to put you in the most desirable location in Dubai, SZR for example. Watch the recruitment videos online, you will see they NEVER mention where accommodation is. The accommodation you are referring to in the middle of the desert, is in the middle of no where BUT it is the highest quality accommodation we have, if you have a car its great, if not then yeah its a bit crap, but remember its paid for by the company you have no bills so can you really complain? Yes but its give and take. Salaries are NEVER withheld , sorry don't know how are why you assume this? Salary is better than cabin crew jobs in Europe, remember, this is tax free. They never withhold any salary though so please don't start spreading rumors... We work HARD. Well some of us do. Most crew are very lazy sorry to say, and don't want to do anything. We fly a lot, yearly average I flew 950 hours in one year which is around 80 a month. I guess its a lot. Some months are less maybe 60 depends if I have leave, some more can be 115 if I swap onto longer flights and want more cash. If you have a month without leave you can expect to get a roster with around 85-90 rostered hours, you can swap for less or more, up to you. Some flights are long and hard, for example Nairobi turnaround, 5 hour to Nairobi 5 hour back to Dubai with an hour or two on the ground, its a long day, depart Dubai 10:45 get back 22:45. Its legal though, UK charter airlines have even longer days flying from UK to EGYPT and back! Another horrible flight is Chennai, depart Dubai 2:45am, get back 12:15 in the afternoon, yuk I hate it but its work, not like you going to have this flight every month. Then again we also have some of the easiest flights, Muscat turnaround, 45 minutes to Muscat and one hour on the ground 45 minutes back to Dubai. Day over. Easy. Most flights are average depends on the destination, time of departure etc. If the crew are motivated its always easy, if you have lazy crew on your flight, well, god help you cos your day will be HELL and you will just want to jump out the plane. On a typical month without leave, you will get 9 days off, sometimes more, rarely less. I always stalk rosters when they come up, everyone I check gets minimum 9. You can get more though but the average is 9 I guess. You can work 7 days in a row but usually you will only have 4-5 ta in this period or for example two layovers back to back. Honestly, I get tired from the flying and some flights are really tiring (long red eye turnaround) but its easy to manage your rest before flights, which is something a lot of our crew have NO idea how to do. Its normal to find out crew have hardly slept before flights. No unions, its true, you should have known that before you joined Emirates though, try do some research on the company before joining. A the end of the day, Emirates is a fair employer, they are a business and want to make money, don't expect too much or give to much, do your job and if you don't enjoy it then your in the wrong business! Everyone likes to complain about the company, but at the end of the day, its a fair company, nothing out of this world, but its nothing short of fair. |
